Apple's earbuds have never fit me well at all, and the AirPod Pros I can at least tweak the fit w/the different silicone nubs.  I actually just took advantage of the Prime Days offer for Beats Studio Pros for $170 bc my Air Pods 2 have devloped an issue where if you try and use any of the sound blocking features, then if you talk it starts spiking feedback in the right ear.

"In every case, the lack of PCI-E GPU support is the killing factor for the new Mac Pro"

You gave a music industry example.  Except none of the DAWs use intense GPUs or process data on GPUs.  Prior to the M series, most buying Macs leave the video alone and focus on the CPU as that was what bound the performance of DAWs.  I can easily imagine folks getting the new one and filling it w/PCI-e cards for Pro Tools and such.  Rack that and some interfaces and you have a very strong setup with plenty of extra expandability via Thunderbolt.

Elon is lying. Him and Tim have met before. Unless he means never met before about acquisition.

Back in April Cook also claimed they have never met or spoken before.
